The former FBI sharp-shooter who was the world's oldest living Olympian died Tuesday at his home in Arlington, Va., just six days before his 107th birthday. Walsh finished 12th in the men's 50-meter free pistol event at the 1948 London Olympics. He was 41 by then, and had already demonstrated his marksmanship with the FBI and the Marine Corps. During the Depression, Walsh was instrumental in the capture and killing of several gangsters. As an FBI rookie, he discovered the body of "Baby Face" Nelson after a shootout that left two federal agents dead, and a year later helped catch Arthur "Doc" Barker of the Barker Gang. Walsh served on the front lines in the First Marine Division during World War II, and spent more than 20 years as a shooting instructor for the Marines after the war before his retirement in 1970. He later served as the team leader for USA Shooting in several competitions, including the 1972 Munich Olympics. He was born in Hoboken, N.J., on May 4, 1907.

And now to another kind of sharpshooter: The Oklahoma City Thunder star received an online apology from the Oklahoman newspaper sports editor Mike Sherman about a headline in Thursday's paper that read "Mr. Unreliable" over a photo of Durant. Wanda Pratt, Durant's mother, came to her son's defense on Twitter: "UNBELIEVABLE!! KEVIN is RELIABLE!!!" Sherman wrote that the headline was "overstated and unduly harsh" in describing Durant's miss of a potential game-winning shot in Game 5 against Memphis on Tuesday.
